Ever Episcopal Campaign The Final Reporton the

Turner Upper School
The Turner Upper School was
designed by RMJM Hillier to encourage
collaborative learning and to make use
of the most modern teaching technology.
The gathering and meeting spaces support
community aspects of the Upper School
program. State-of-the-art technologies,
such as the flat screen plasma televisions
in each classroom, campus-wide
wireless network, and remote access to a
communal video library, are all important
educational tools available to students and
faculty.
The Turner Upper School houses
24 classrooms, four of which contain
Harkness tables constructed to facilitate
class discussion. The entryway of the
building opens into the Coote Honor
Hall, an element integral to the building’s
collaborative design. Here students can
gather around the fireplace and enjoy the
view of the campus green as they study
and socialize. Class lounges and study
areas on each of the building’s three floors
provide additional communal spaces, and
department offices provide yet another
venue for informal student-faculty
collaboration.
Parents of three alumni, Bob, a long
time trustee, and Carolyn Turner thank
the faculty with this magnificent gift to
Episcopal.
